The price of drawing pencils was 2 for P 1.75. Cynthia bought 6 drawing pencils. How much did the 6 drawing pencils cost?

Sagot :

Since we have 2 for 1.75 we just multiply both sides by 3 so:
[tex]2*3pencils=1.75*3 \\ 6pencils=5.25[/tex]

The 6 pencils cost P5.25

The ratio of pencils and their prices is:
2 pencils:P 1.75

Therefore, convert:
[tex]6 pencils(\frac{P 1.75}{2 pencils})[/tex]
=P 5.25

Hope this helps =)
